Specifies the minimum number of characters in a hyphenated word. When applying the hyphenation, the optimal minimum number of characters in the word, before the hyphen, or after the hyphen can vary by the design of the page, or by the language. This property allows the finer grained control of the hyphenation.
The finer grained control of the hyphenation is desired for developers wanting better typography on the web. It can also help international pages when the default settings are not optimal. Supporting this feature reduces the needs of using the JavaScript hyphenation libraries. The tracking bug has 29 stars as of Oct, 2022.
